Aspects of my Buddhist life

Welcome. You’ll find articles on meditation and Buddhism, as well as details of all my books, plus my teaching programme and various other things. Just browse the headings and see what you find. And below you’ll find my latest posts.

Wherever in the world you’re from, very best wishes to you.

Teaching programme

A lot of the events I do are very popular, and fill up quickly. It is always worth putting yourself down on the waiting list, as people often have to cancel for one reason or another. 

Books

I have written a number of books on Buddhist meditation, on some of its deities and symbols, and the deeper meaning and significance of Dharma practice.

Pujas

Puja is a ritual, or ceremony,  that includes reflection, chanting and offerings that deepen appreciation of The Buddha and his teachings. A pujs is usually dedicated to a specific teacher or deity in the Buddhist traditon.

From time to time I write, edit or compile pujas to various figures, for use on retreats that I lead.  Here are links to three of the most requested ones, but there is a page dedicated to pujas
